I would like to thank all my friends, reviewers, and colleagues

to thank Tedi Heriyanto (co-author) whose continual dedication,

contributions, ideas, and technical discussions led to produce the

useful product you see today. Last but not least, thanks to my pals

and whose vigilant eyes turn an IT industry into a secure and stable

environment.
